Naw, Krillin's useless; Goku was just using it as a front.

Saw the most recent episode of Super. If there's one constant in the universe, it's that Future Trunks' life sucks.

Next episode, Kid Trunks' Existential Crisis.

[up]

Seems to be the case.

Still utterly baffled by the sudden interest in Mai, but I don't think there was anything romantic between her and Future Trunks. At most, I'd say it's ambiguous. I guess Toriyama decided to care about her suddenly.

Also, now I'm wondering if this argument about Goku's Super Saiyan trigger is really about just making PMC wrong. That's a dumb reason for an argument. If it's not, it's still a dumb argument since the end result, as already stated is the same: Goku is a Super Saiyan.

I expect more from everyone everywhere, while not holding myself to the same standard.

Krillin is Goku's homie, it's in his job description to ruin Goku's job performance reviews.

[up][up] The interactions between future Trunks and Mai was clearly romantic. They were even living together.

It's also why kid Mai is showing up again in the present.

It's not kid Mai, it's Trunks' daughter.

Re: Power levels and Super Saiyan

The guidebooks said zenkais get more extreme as one nears the power level necessary for Super Saiyan transformation, and then the zenkais pretty much become worthless.

Also, in the Android Arc, Goku has to train Gohan in the Room of Space and Time to get him to a level where he can transform.

And that's why everyone was pissed that Bardock could just get angry and transform.

Wow, Future Trunks just can't catch a break can he? Contrasting his bleak world with the regular timeline made things look even worse by contrast.

Wow, he even lost his mother and his girlfriend on the same day. His luck is just the worst.

Forget Black Goku, Zenou is clearly the greatest evil in the multiverse. He destroyed six universes because he was in bad mood one day. That's death and destruction on a completely unfathomable scale.

And now I realize how much they dropped the ball regarding Black Goku's identity. The reveal that he looks like Goku would have been a huge "Oh shit!" moment for the fans.... if they didn't spoil it away in advance.

Wait... didn't Mai's voice actor say she was going to be in this arc a lot?

I'm just confused about Mai's importance period.

I mean, what made Toriyama suddenly decide to make use of her?

She's been irrelevant since....her introductory arc....which was the beginning of the series.

Why now is she suddenly important?

Also, I'm going to ignore anything that claims she's Future Trunks' girlfriend as long as they don't do anything like kiss. Despite the art not reflecting it, she's supposed to be around his mom's age (or older since she was an adult back when Bulma was 16)

For her to suddenly be with Trunks is too ridiculous, and I won't accept it.

Did Toriyama say she was his girlfriend? Has anyone said that for this arc?

If not, then I'll continue to ignore it. If so, then I'l continue to ignore it BECAUSE IT'S DUMB.

Again, she looks younger than she did in her first appearance. She almost certainly was aged down.

I already expanded it.

They would've had to have made the reverse age wish during the 3 years before the Androids showed up and miraculously survived.

Because Toriyama wants to; we should probably stop trying to find reasons for anything he does anymore considering he just does what he wants.

iirc, wasn't there an interview that said it was just a random idea he came up with and he just ran with it.

It's all just foreshadowing to Tien taking his rightful place as main character.

Human Beyond God Mode, it's only two arcs away.
